Maybe:
Asthma symptoms are cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and/or chest tightness that is recurrent. It typically worsens at night and with exercise. There are multiple triggers including allergies, smoke/irritants and even acid reflux. An allergist or pulmonologist can perform a history, exam and lung function tests to help determine if asthma is the cause.

Deoxygenated blood enters the lungs from the right side of the heart and travels to the lungs. When you inspire, oxygen flows into the lungs, transverses the capilliares and attaches to hemoglobin down a gradient. At the same time, co2 diffuses into the capilaries and is expelled with exhalation. Oxygen rich blood then flows to the left side of the heart and into the circulation for cellular use.

Yes:
Often when people have infections such as colds, flus or even pneumonia it can be difficult to breathe and they can work up a sweat just taking air in and out. For them it can often feel good and refreshing to take in some cold air. However, if they have asthma or bronchitis, the quick change in the temperature can lead to constriction of the bronchi and can make breathing more difficult.

Cold air:
It's not abnormal for cold air to cause spasms in the lung airways, making it harder to breathe. Cold air can dry out your lungs, and make them 'cold too.' breathing through your nose will help, and at times, some people may have an asthma event triggered and those patients will benefit from an inhaler to use 15 minutes prior to going out to exercise in the cold. Good luck to you.

EXPANSION:
The cold air expands in your lungs when it heats up. Try breathing through your nose. Remember to tell your doctor about this so he / she can measure your lung capacity, have a listen and check a few other things.

Asthma/Bronchitis:
It sounds like your breathing passages are inflamed. If you smoke, that's contributing. If you don't, you may have infection and/or constriction. Cold can often be a trigger in asthma. Broncodilators and antiinflammatory medscan help greatly. See your doc for an exam and prescription so you can feel better!

Hypnosis/Cold Air?:
In order to get cold air into your lungs, the air you breathe would need to be cold. This sounds important to you. Hypnosis can help you relax, and possibly help you breathe easier. It seems that anxiety may be at least part of what you're experiencing. Please see a psychiatrist or therapist to help with your anxiety. Some also do hypnosis. You can find hypnotists here: http://www.Asch.Net/.

Interesting.:
This can occur after drinking a very cold beverage. Normally it should get better in a few hours. Not common to last 4 days. I would advise you to see your family physician and let him/her examine you and listen to your lungs and palpate your abdomen which may be a long shot causing this complaint. Maybe a chest xray would be in order.

One option:
1 function of the nose is to warm cold air before it moves to the lungs. Capillaries in the nose dilate to bring warm blood to the nares. As these tissues fill with blood the nose becomes congested. Any air that makes it to the lungs that is still cold can trigger release of histamines & cause bronchospasm. Recommend wearing a scarf on other clothing article that can be placed over nose/ mouth.
